Abstract: Flexible rate communication signalling apparatus and methods are disclosed. A determination is made as to a set of one or more of first frames and second frames which would provide a desired communication rate. The first frames and the second frames have a common frame structure but different associated rates. The determined set of one or more of the first frames and the second frames, including received client signals, is generated.

Abstract: There are various drawbacks by using existing OTN (Optical Transport Network) frames for communication between OTN cards. Such drawbacks might for example include high latency, low robustness, and/or high coding rate. According to embodiments of the present disclosure, systems and methods are provided for modifying an OTN frame (or creating a new frame with data from the OTN frame) prior to transmission by an OTL (Optical channel Transport Lane) in order to address some or all of the foregoing drawbacks. Note that this embodiment can make use of existing hardware (e.g. hardware used for generating the OTN frame, and the OTL used for transmission).
